Simon Harris: I fully agree with Deputy Troy. I thank him for his support for the technological universities. It has made a real positive impact in Athlone and in the midlands. Just before I left the Department, we had gone out for proposals from the technological universities on what they could do on student accommodation. Those proposals are now back, and they are being assessed. I expect 2024 to be...

Bernard Durkan: In recent times, we have all become accustomed to dealing with higher volumes of queries about antisocial behaviour. They take on a very serious element in the present time when we are now dealing with people who are being forced out of their homes under threats of violence and sexual activity and abuse.

Neurological rehabilitation services are vital, and we need more of them. We need them in communities. It is an important part of the National Rehabilitation Hospital, NRH, jigsaw as well. I will certainly speak with the Minister for Health and...

Michael Healy-Rae: Every year, we have the same issue when it comes to passports and the backlog in the Passport Office as we head into the holiday season. Myself, Martina, Fiona, Jackie and the people in my office are very thankful to the staff of the dedicated TD line who deal with our queries.
